I sorta figure I should do this new year intro "hello" thingy where I introduce myself in order to meet a whole bunch of people who are mostly quiet when it comes to this LJ.
Hello! I'm Tielan and I'm an SGA fan.
I write a lot of fanfic, do a small amount of graphic, mod several active comms (as in 'have had at least one post in the last six months'), and post semi-regularly in a couple more.
I love all the characters in Stargate Atlantis, but my favourites are Teyla, John, and Ronon, with Rodney scraping in there when I'm writing teamfic. Teyla in particular gets a lot of attention from me, mostly because I've found it very difficult to find people willing to give her even a little attention. I'm a big sucker for the underdog - especially when she's such a kickass character.
My favourite pairing is John/Teyla and if you haven't yet realised this, then you probably will just by skimming back a half dozen posts. However, I also write gen with team angles, and am into or have written at various times: Ronon/Elizabeth, Teyla/Lorne, Teyla/Rodney, Teyla/Carson, Teyla/Bates, Teyla/Michael, Rodney/Ronon, Elizabeth/Simon, and Ronon/Keller...uh, and quite a few others.
In case you haven't noticed, Teyla is my Little Black Dress of fandom: she goes with everything!
I love Sam (holdover from SG-1), even through my initial ambivalence about her coming to Atlantis. I like Elizabeth, even through my continuing ambivalence about certain of her fans. I have opinions and I often will speak them; I have a temper and I sometimes will lose it. You probably won't see that, though - I tend to rage elsewhere for the sanity of my f-list.
I'm a sucker for participating or organising ficathons, fic challenges, prompt battles, and awards - particularly if it relates to Teyla or John/Teyla. The spoilers for Season Four don't bother me terribly much: fandom is the sandpit in which I play - canon may or may not influence that. It would be extremely nice to get the show written precisely as I'd like, but I generally try to keep my entitlement issues on a leash.
I have a personal journal, but not much happens in there anymore.
I generally don't mind my LJ being hijacked for discussion (not argument or insults) about a topic.
The full list of what I wrote in 2007 - gen, het, slash and other - is here (also linked above). Lots of short stuff, but a couple of longer stories.
My fandom goal in 2008 is to write 12 longer team, Teyla, or John/Teyla stories. By 'longer', I mean around 5000-10,000 words, preferably more. I have enough story bunnies to get them done - and the bunnies are reproducing at an alarming rate what with Season 4 - best season evah! - I just have to find the discipline to write them!
So, enough about me - let's talk about you for a minute!
I really would love to hear from you about you, especially if you've just started watching this journal, or haven't commented on here before. Regulars are still welcome to chime in, though!

My name is Sharon and I'm from Alabama, USA.
I'm an SGA fan, and I love Teyla, Ronon, and John. McKay's cool too. He'd be annoying but for his redeeming qualities. He's just really socially retarded.
I just wrote my first fanfic about a month ago. I've been reading it for years, though, and you're actually one of my favorite authors. I find your essays quite inspiring as well.
My job is just ok. I work at a wholesale printing company, but I do freelance graphic design and a bit of photography (my major and minor in college, respectively) on the side.
I really like tea.

(Sorry, I should have answered this a month ago. Bad T!)
Anyway, lovely to have you along!
